Agari Named to the 2019 CB Insights AI 100 List of Most Innovative Artificial Intelligence Startups

Agari honored for achievements in next-generation secure email cloud

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CB Insights today named Agari to the third annual AI
100 ranking, showcasing the 100 most promising private artificial
intelligence companies in the world.

“After being named to the AI 100 in 2018, last year’s honorees raised
nearly $4.5B across 45 deals with 6 going on to be valued at $1 billion
or more,” said CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal. “The data we compiled on
this year’s nominees, ranging from their customers to their patents to
their CB Insights’ Mosaic scores, revealed 100 AI companies that are
driving transformation across a number of industries and which are
taking on a variety of large societal issues ranging from disaster
management to cancer diagnosis to detecting fake news. We expect these
companies will see similar levels of momentum and progress in 2019 and
are excited to continue to track their progress.”

In addition to disrupting core sectors including healthcare,
telecommunications, semiconductor, government, retail, and finance, the
2019 AI 100 companies are revamping the broader enterprise tech stack.
These companies span the globe, from the US, UK, Israel, Japan, China,
Germany, Sweden, and Canada, and are supported by more than 680
investors from 29 countries.

“Agari is proud that CB Insights has recognized the artificial
intelligence technology behind the Agari Secure Email Cloud for its
ability to protect against evildoers seeking to violate people’s trust
through email,” said Agari CMO Armen Najarian. “Despite decades of R&D
and billions of dollars of investment in security solutions,
cybercriminals have evaded traditional defense systems effortlessly with
advanced email attacks. It remains the single most common and costly
form of cybercrime. But all that stops with Agari and our unique
application of AI, and our inclusion in the AI 100 is a testament to the
importance of this mission.”

Through an evidence-based approach, the CB Insights research team
selected the AI 100 from over 3,000 companies based on several factors
including patent activity, investor quality, news sentiment analysis,
proprietary Mosaic scores, market potential, partnerships, competitive
landscape, team strength, and tech novelty. The Mosaic
Score, based on CB Insights’ algorithm, measures the overall health
and growth potential of private companies to help predict a company’s
momentum.

Agari is the industry’s first and only next generation Secure Email
Cloud that detects, defends against and deters phishing and identity
deception attacks using predictive AI. Serving as the foundation of the
Agari Secure Email Cloud is the Agari Identity Graph™, a data science
layer that leverages machine learning and predictive AI generated from
more than two trillion emails per year. The Agari Identity Graph uses
artificial intelligence to create millions of models of trustworthy
communication and expected good behavior, which are updated daily.
Deviations from these models are detected and identified as suspicious
or potentially malicious for further investigation.

Quick facts on the 2019 AI 100:

As of EOY 2018, these emerging private companies have cumulatively
raised $9.4B across 375 deals.

Ten companies have reached a unicorn valuation of $1B or more.

Over 680 unique investors from 29 different countries have backed the
companies in this year’s cohort.

Over 680 US patent applications have been filed by the AI 100.

Twenty-five previous honorees were featured on this year’s list, in
addition to 75 new companies.

Eight countries are represented on the ranking, and the majority of
the companies are based in the United States.
